I heard you won't be able to buy a natural gas furnace, water heater, or any gas appliance in California in a couple years. already can't install anything gas in new construction. Good thing Cal has a way over engineered, way over built electric grid.

Electric grid is easier to fix than air quality or warming... But it needs work everywhere. It's just not easy money, which is what corporates want, so they're waiting for someone else to pay.

CT is cracking down on wannabe drag racers, and the article couldn't be any funnier as the video shows two regular traffic looking civics attempting to reach legal speeds.

They will really have to crank up the natural gas power plants.

It's a Kenmore-branded Electrolux. Not without issues, but it's at least ten years old. Super easy to clean. The power is impressive but temperature control is the real winner. At the right setting, a teflon-lined pan can simmer until the food is completely charred, but still not overheat.

I'm usually preoccupied with thoughts of punching my GM in the face. Repeatedly.

That's interesting. A couple years ago we needed to replace an 80-gallon electric water heater on the east coast and had to buy a commercial one with a 2-year warranty because they want us to switch to propane or natural gas.
